Zelio E-Mobility Unveils New Electric Rickshaw, Tanga Nine+ at RideAsia EV Expo 2026

Zelio E-Mobility made a strong appearance at the RideAsia EV Expo 2026 held at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi. Among the two launches the company brought to India’s largest EV trade event, the one that drew the most attention from fleet operators and last-mile transport buyers was the Tanga Nine+ E- Rickshaw, an upgraded electric three-wheeler built specifically for passenger transport in urban and semi-urban India.

The commercial launch of the Tanga Nine+ is expected in Q2 of the current financial year.

 

Tanga Nine+ 2026, How is it Different from the Tanga Nine

The original Tanga Nine established Zelio’s presence in the electric rickshaw passenger segment. The Tanga Nine+ is not a minor refresh. It addresses the two most practical concerns for any electric three-wheeler operator: how safe is the vehicle for passengers, and how much can it earn per trip.

The biggest change is the introduction of an Autosafe front design. Most electric three-wheelers in India use an open-front or mirror-front structure that leaves the front of the vehicle exposed. The Tanga Nine+ replaces this with an enclosed Autosafe front, improving protection for passengers and giving drivers more confidence while operating in dense traffic.

The second major upgrade is seating capacity. The original Tanga Nine seated five passengers. The Tanga Nine+ seats up to eight. For an operator running shared mobility on a fixed route, this is a direct increase in revenue per trip without any additional fuel or operating cost.

Kunal Arya, Managing Director of Zelio E-Mobility Stated
“Last-mile mobility in India is evolving rapidly, and there is a clear need for solutions that balance safety, capacity, and economic viability. With the Tanga Nine+, we have focused on addressing these core requirements by introducing an Autosafe front design and significantly enhancing passenger capacity. This product is built to support operators with better earning potential while ensuring a safer and more comfortable experience for passengers.”

Why This Vehicle Makes Sense for Who Runs A E- Rickshaw

The Tanga Nine+ electric three-wheeler Rickshaw is not built for a test track. It is built for the kind of routes Indian shared transport operators actually run every day. Narrow city roads, stop-start traffic, shared mobility between residential colonies and metro stations, inter-village routes in semi-urban areas.

A 150 km range on a single charge means a full day of operations for most routes without a mid-shift recharge. The 2.5 kW BLDC/PMSM motor, 670 mm legroom, and combi braking system reflect engineering decisions made with daily commercial use in mind.

The Autosafe front design is particularly relevant in India’s traffic conditions where three-wheelers frequently operate alongside heavy vehicles, buses, and two-wheelers moving at varying speeds. Better front protection means fewer injuries in minor collisions, which directly affects an operator’s livelihood.

If you run a E- Rickshaw on a fixed city route, the numbers here are worth knowing.

Eight passengers versus five means 60 percent more capacity per trip on the same route, same driver, same charge. A 150 km range covers most full-day operations without a top-up stop. The Autosafe front design reduces risk in minor traffic incidents. And the combi braking system gives more predictable stopping in heavy mixed traffic.

Pricing, dealer availability, and financing options will be announced when the commercial launch happens in Q2 Of the current  Financial Year. With Zelio’s 350+ dealer network, access will not be just limited to large cities.
